> Right now the only way to get most books digitally is WITH DRM
There are companies like 1DollarScan and Bookscan that will scan your physical books and give you digital copies. Or you can do it yourself, of course. Either way, it's legal and you won't have to deal with DRM.

there are also publishers (like Baen) that sell e-books without DRM.
however the 'big 6' publishers are all making the same mistakes with e-books that the big music publishers did several years ago. they haven't yet gotten to the point of suing their customers, but if they keep making the same stupid mistakes they should start doing so in a couple of years.
